mlfCreateColonIndex (MATLAB C Math Library)

Create an array that acts like the colon operator when passed as an index to an indexing function

C Prototype

mxArray *mlfCreateColonIndex(void);

Description

The mlfCreateColonIndex() index, which loosely interpreted means ``all,'' selects, for example, all the columns in a row or all the rows in a column.

Example

The call to mlfIndexRef() selects all the elements in the first row of array A and assigns them to array B.

mlfAssign(&B, mlfIndexRef(A, 
                          "(?,?)",         /* Format string */
                          mlfScalar(1),    /* Index value   */
                          mlfCreateColonIndex()); /* Colon  */
